“don’t click.”
Roger that.
At this point, when my son comes of age and asks my opinion on marriage, I will tell him the truth, at least as far as community property states are concerned.
That it’s an illusory contract designed to punish the man/primary breadwinner, no matter how good his behavior, and benefit the woman, no matter how egregious her behavior.
Ellis discusses his own experiences with divorce from a vindictive woman, and what the family court system puts men through.
I work with both men and women and the courts are capricious and the judicial system is plain evil.
Both sexes suffer tremendously under the courts. Both sexes have places where they are powerless in the system.
First Law. Never get married.
Seeing what happened to both my cousins, co-workers, and several friends with divorce, got that idea out of my head.
Rollo Tomassi and the Rule Zero guys are of one accord about the mistake it is today for a man to get married.
That said, my college girlfriend (now wife) have been together for 51 years. We are the only one of about 12 couples we know from that era that are still together. We’re happy as clams. (”No brain, no headache!”)
Thank you for posting. If you say ‘Jordan Peterson’ I’m in. A crime what this poor man has gone through.
My husband and I have been together 48 years. He is the handsomest, most kind, cheerful, and sometimes funniest guy in the world and I am the luckiest woman in the world.
I watched the video interview of what happened to Mr. Ellis. He is not alone. A coworkers marriage fell apart when he discovered wife was having sex with his best fiend. The wife justified her behavior in every manner possible to avoid admitting she was wrong. It was a bitter divorce and my friend was understandably angry. Things got heated and the wife declared to authorities that he was molesting their 5 year old daughter. She essentially used the kid as a weapon and what a weapon it was. The rest of my story is the same as what happened to MR. Ellis. You are guilty, no arrest, no trial but punishment is dispensed for years.
Years ago our office manager went through a messy divorce and his wife played the abuse card. He was very lucky that one of my partners represented him for free. Even so, he damn near had to register as a sex offender. All because of a vindictive lie.

I tell the young fellas at work.....
Just go find a woman that hates your guts.
Buy her a house.
Give her half your pay for the next 20 years.
I just saved you about 100K in legal fees.
You’re welcome!
Show that video to a group of 18 year old males, and see how many never get married.
So much for "He just refuses to commit! So immature!"
